A few days ago my husband made me watch one of the endless videos he found on You Tube. This was per usual of him since his day job is producing a clip based television show. Like a good wife, I shrugged my shoulders and said “yes dear, I would love to watch the video.”

Little did I know that this video and the featured man in the video would become my newest sickness. His name was Merton. He wore a grey hoodie and big black glasses, not the most becoming of outfits. However he had mad skills on the piano.

He was funny, beyond funny. I had a crush, a big one.

my most random crush

I stared in awe as Merton interacted with complete strangers. The video ended. My husband left the room. I ran back to the computer and googled ‘Merton’. More videos popped up and I watched, obsessively. The days continued ~ I went to dinner. I talked about Merton. I went to a meeting. I talked about Merton. I told random strangers about Merton. I realized ~ I was sick. I went to the one place where I could shout out my sickness, no one would judge me. I could geek out about everything Merton. I started a Merton obsession group.
